The Class

Want to learn how to turn spontaneous scenes into satisfying stories? Join in as we explore the tools of narrative improv -character, conflict, world-building, and story arcs - and put them into practice to create performances with clear beginnings, middles, and (often surprising) ends—without ever scripting a thing.

In this six week series, we'll discover how to stay playful while layering in deeper continuity across scenes and longer sets. You'll get hands-on practice through exercises, skill building, and narrative-driven formats, all aimed at strengthening your long-form storytelling muscles.

We'll finish off with a class performance (Date TBD) to show off what we've learned!
